The Building of A Brand

Welcome to my blog! I thought it was time that I start sharing my experiences and my testimony a little every week as my family and I go about turning Sophie Grace Maui into something that we can leave to the next generation. I will post new designs and future events of course. But what I hope this blog accomplishes is something a little more personal for those who read it. This is my story of being a Mom, a wife, a business owner and failing to do it all but learning and loving along the way.

Crush it!

My brother in law recommended this book to my hubby for me. By page 3 I was hooked. The author, Gary Vaynerchuk, describes passion as this, " It means that when you get up in the morning , every single morning, you are pumped because you get to talk about or work with or do the thing that interests you the most in the world. You don't live for vacations because you'd don't need a break from what you're doing - working, playing, and relaxing are one and the same. You don't even pay attention to how many hours you're working because to you, it's not really work. You're making money, but you would do whatever it is you're doing for free."


That's me in a nutshell. Absolutely obsessed with what I do. I feel like it was written for me. What this book talks about though is how to harness that passion and get people exited about you and your product using social networking. I haven't been this excited about a book in a long time. Anyway, I'm only a few chapters in. But I will keep you posted on it's advice and how well it works. I even started tweeting again determined to give it another shot. So you knew it was coming, follow my tweets @sophiegracemaui.com (but bare with me I'm new).
